ColladoCollins secures planning on first scheme in Dublin

Hotel featuring 310 bedrooms situated on prominent corner site in the city centre

ColladoCollins has secured planning on its very first project in Ireland. Working with client Fitzwilliam Real Estate Capital Ltd, the practice is designing and delivering a new 310 bedroom hotel on a high profile site in Dublin’s city centre.

The hotel, which will be operated by German hotel group Motel One, sits on the corner of Liffey Street Upper and Abbey Street Middle, a stone’s throw from Dublin’s main thoroughfare - O’Connell Street - and nearby landmarks including the Ha’Penny Bridge, the GPO and the Dublin Spire.

The design of the scheme presents a modern twist on a traditional vocabulary, giving a nod to the hierarchy of the Georgian architecture in the surrounding area through its symmetry and use of a refined material palette which includes brick, stone and bronze.

Due to start on site in 2019, the hotel aims to serve as a focal point for people moving between two parts of the city, becoming a new landmark.
